Story task

Give Kane 10 bones

Give Kane 10 bones. Get a dog and a shovel and dig up digspots to try find them.

Once you are friends

Aren't dogs great? You seem friendly, but dogs always have a wag of the tail and a large amount of drool ready when they see you.

Did you know that the Goddess Morwenna has a pet dog?

I could tell you all kinds of dog facts. I would invite you to an evening of dog lectures, but I don't like having people in the house - just dogs.

Once they like you

You must think I am a crazy dog-man. Well, I am crazy for dogs and a man.

I heard there was a lady in your Vale who was cool for cats. It sounds like she would like a friendly squeeze. Or is it a hug? I am not very good when it comes to that sort of thing.

I just know how to give the dog a bone.

Asking for help

I like you more than any other human I have talked to, which is not many. Do you have any bones? I could do with stocking up. About ten will do.

It would show me you really care for dogs. You know how to get them, don't you? Dig them up. You need a dog and a shovel of course.

When it is done

Those are good bones.

I never told anyone this, but I was rescued by a dog when I was a little boy. We were on a picnic, and I crawled into a rabbit hole, and nobody could find me. Then a man was walking past with a dog, and the dog found me and dragged me out of the hole.

All I really remember is my mother saying, "Thank you, wee lassie".

My parents then bought a dog to help protect me. We called it Cuckoo Joe. My Dad Stephen said it was the king of all dogs. I just remember asking what a king was.
